Award winning singer/songwriter and Georgia native, Matt Rogers, has released the music video for the title track from his latest project, Richest Place On Earth, exclusively on Raised Rowdy.
“I couldn't be more proud of this video. This is one of my favorite, if not my favorite, songs that I've ever written. It's my personal story of leaving a full-time job, moving to Nashville and not halfway pursuing this dream, but jumping head first,” says Rogers. “So seeing this song come to life in the video was a humbling experience for me. Especially considering the entire video was filmed in my hometown and countless people who support me volunteered time, services and specific things we needed to make the video possible. Everything about this video is Eatonton, GA. From the film and production crew, to the locations, to the actors. I tell them all the time how I just want to make my family and hometown proud. I'm excited to share a little bit of my hometown with this video.”
Music industry taste maker Robert K. Oermann of Music Row chose “Richest Place On Earth” for the DisCovery Award stating the song was, “extremely well written and sung with fire and conviction.” The tune also recently won a Music City SongStar Award along with his last single, “Britches.”

Country music great TG Sheppard said of him, “You're the real deal man. You are the total package. You're a great singer, a great picker, and a great songwriter. I will remember the first time I saw you and it was right here when you arrived. And you have arrived.” Nashville singer/songwriter Melonie Cannon said, “Loved the tone of your voice. That gravely sound in your voice…that's not something you can just pull off. That's a very cool sound—very unique. We were trying to figure out is there somebody that you sound like—and I don't know anybody with that voice—that's a good thing. Keep writing. I dig it.”
